lol.. glad it wasnt just me that couldnt make any sense of the comment.

the new longhorn themes will be hardware sensitive apparently, i.e. if you have a capable graphics card then you'll get all the transparent features etc. If not, you get a basic, low resource using desktop?

...anyway, love the aero theme, just need my desktop sidebar to look the same now ;) :rofl:

I was a little worried that no one would like it.. guess I had been working on it too long because at first it looked really cool, but by the time I released it it was looking pretty dull to me lol. Glad everyone seems to like it though.

Yes that is desktop sidebar from desktopsidebar.com .. and I will be updating that "Aero" skin probably on and off for awhile as the one I have up there now was thrown together really quickly. So if you downloaded it already, check back for updates soon!

buzz99 : I think thats happening with your start button because I set it to show the true size of the image file that I ripped out of longhorn rather than stretch it. I'm not sure really, if you know how to mod you could just go in with stylebuilder and adjust the start button settings until you get it to show up normal on your version. I dont have a french version of XP to try it on to fix up for you. Sorry about that :huh:

Thanks for mirroring those files SioPao :D

MonkeyClaw: I dont use trillian, so I dont really know a thing about skinning it.. this might be a good time for you to learn skinning, so how would YOU like to do a skin to match this for trillian? lol :p

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
